1846 Margaret St

Completed in 1926, this 14-story Mediterranean Revival condominium occupies a prominent riverfront site in Jacksonville’s Riverside neighborhood. Designed by architect Roy Benjamin, the masonry tower presents arched openings, ornamental detailing and a traditional pre-war silhouette that reads as a Paris-inspired showpiece rather than postwar high-rise. Units are primarily two-bedroom layouts with high ceilings, hardwood floors, crown moldings, arched doorways and period fixtures; many residences have been renovated to include modern kitchens, quartz counters, built-in storage, and updated mechanicals while retaining original character. Common areas and services reflect a modest, building-scale program: an elevator, shared laundry, gated off-street parking, and a tenants’ terrace along the St. Johns River. Exterior amenities include private balconies or terraces on select units and direct adjacency to Memorial Park and the riverwalk. The building’s location is highly walkable — within easy reach of museums, restaurants, specialty shops, Publix, and the Riverside Arts Market — making it suited to residents who value historic character, riverfront views, and proximity to downtown Jacksonville. Pet and management policies are managed by the condominium association, with routine maintenance items like pest control and garbage service handled at the association level.
